Research and Development
Constant innovation:

Well-equipped, state of the art laboratory, multidisciplinary R&D teams and collaboration with external partners, enable us to optimize sealing materials and gaskets to meet your most challenging needs and develop new ones.

Experience in various industries and applications:

When problem occurs, our R&D teams can find solution by exploring new materials, gaskets designs and applications. But problem solving is not the only motivation we have.
We are driven by innovation and thinking out-of-the-box to find new solutions nobody has think of.

Customer focused innovation.

Your sealing problem is our challenge. It drives us to find the best products, solutions and applications for even most demanding conditions. Through problem solving we learn and find new, innovative solutions and develop products, our customers really need.

Even small improvements bring better results.

We are aware breakthrough changes of sealing materials do not come in one day. But we are strongly on the path of innovation with the goal to find the best sealing solution
– a perfect fit.
We make constant improvements of our products and solutions for better results of our customers. Even small changes in application can bring big changes in sealing properties.
